This planning project will plan an infrastructure called the National Java Resource (NJR), which will be a collection of (on the order of) 10,000 Java projects that build and run out of the box, and for which popular static and dynamic analysis tools succeed and have cached outputs. The tasks of writing build scripts and otherwise preparing Java projects and tools for the repository will be largely automated. A prototype was developed to serve the DARPA MUSE project, but that project is ending soon and does not have plans to establish the NJR. A large and diverse set of Java-based research projects will be able to use it, providing an experimental platform and benchmarks, and eliminating barriers to performing the research. It is expected that the project will open up new areas of research that have been impeded by the lack of a high-quality corpus of such programs that can be easily compiled, run, and analyzed. The NJR repository has the potential to push forward research on a wide range of Java-based tools, such as bug finders, code repair tools, code synthesizers, software evolution, software repository mining, along with other code analysis tools. The planning activity will involve running workshops at major programming languages conferences and possibly the major software engineering conference, with a goal to engage users and fully understand their requirements. The project will also continue experimenting with how to make downloading, compiling, and running projects less painful, i.e., more automatic, and to improve the success rate of how many projects are amenable to automatic builds, compilation and execution. There is potential for additional communities to benefit if the outreach can be extended to program comprehension, testing, and mining software repositories conferences.

这个规划项目将规划一个名为国家Java资源（NJR）的基础设施，它将是一个由10，000个Java项目组成的集合，这些项目可以构建和运行，流行的静态和动态分析工具可以成功使用，并具有缓存输出。 编写构建脚本以及为存储库准备Java项目和工具的任务将在很大程度上实现自动化。 一个原型是为DARPA MUSE项目开发的，但该项目即将结束，没有建立NJR的计划。 一个大型的、多样化的基于Java的研究项目将能够使用它，提供一个实验平台和基准，并消除执行研究的障碍。预计该项目将开辟新的研究领域，这些领域一直受到缺乏高质量的程序语料库的阻碍，这些程序可以很容易地编译，运行和分析。NJR存储库有潜力推动对广泛的基于Java的工具的研究，例如bug查找器、代码修复工具、代码合成器、软件进化、软件存储库挖掘，以及沿着其他代码分析工具。 规划活动将包括在主要的编程语言会议上举办讲习班，并可能在主要的软件工程会议上举办讲习班，目的是让用户参与并充分了解他们的要求。 该项目还将继续试验如何使下载，编译和运行项目不那么痛苦，即，更自动化，并提高成功率，有多少项目适合自动构建，编译和执行。如果扩展到程序理解、测试和挖掘软件存储库会议，则有可能使更多的社区受益。
